Micro-Zoning with Smart Diffusers: Advanced Room-Level HVAC Control for Modern Buildings

The way we heat, cool, and ventilate our buildings has remained largely unchanged for decades. Traditional HVAC zoning relies on a handful of thermostats controlling entire floors or large spaces, often leading to uneven comfort, wasted energy, and inefficiencies. Micro-zoning, however, is changing that paradigm. By replacing traditional zones with room-level or desk-level controls, and combining automated dampers with smart diffusers equipped with local temperature and CO₂ sensors, buildings can now respond dynamically to individual comfort needs.
This book is a practical guide to understanding, designing, and implementing micro-zoning systems using smart diffusers. It provides engineers, facility managers, and building owners with insights into how these technologies work, their advantages, and how to integrate them effectively into offices, hotels, and smart homes. Through real-world examples, design strategies, and practical tips, readers will gain the knowledge needed to optimize comfort, efficiency, and sustainability in any modern building.
